The best way to answer questions about gaps in your resume is to lie, and lie big. “I was backpacking through eastern Europe working as a freelance blacksmith and studying local farm culture.” “Oh that year I was living with the Pygmies in New Guinea filming an amateur documentary about tribal water wells.” The bigger the lie, the more it sounds like the gaps were important self-work being done. This theory is based on absolutely nothing.
